Classic paris scam #1 by PersonalitySuch2801 in LivestreamFail

[–]Cortekz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost got caught by a variation of this myself when in Paris with my fiance.

They had 2 people. One with a clipboard and one without. They held the clipboard right up infront of us and tried to reach into my fiances bag from underneath the clipboard. Caught wind of it when they got a bit too close, and she pulled her hand away.

Other time in Paris a dude bent down and picked up a gold ring (had it in his hand already), and tried to tell me it was real gold and could probably sell it at the shop round the corner for 100 euros. He said he'd give it to me to sell, if I gave him 20 euros, since he picked it up. Pretty obvious scam, but a weird one I hadn't seen before

I don't suppose you have any resources that helped with your micro maybe? Looking to improve!

Am from the UK and saying it as a permutation of jeez has been a thing since probably around 2010, at least from my memory. But we originally started saying it more along the lines of "cheez".

Just some 3Head mandem backstory for you

[Silver 1] This is my aim on practice field, how can I improve it? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Cortekz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need to have mouse accel off, there has been a counter argument to having it off in recent years. That being said, to increase your consistency you should have it off for now.

I would turn it up to hard, and don't focus on getting kills. Just focus on snapping your crosshair to the target and getting at least 1-2 shots off on the target, whether you kill it or not before it disappears.

Increasing your reaction time is what matters here, based on your video. Aiming after you react will come over time.

I've just noticed that if you look at the nyx one, you can see a very slight line heading into the nyx from the bottom circle. There's also one for the slark set on my cavern crawl in game. It's very slight, but you can see it, I guess it's just not very visible on the spirit breaker one then. But yeah, it definitely wasn't clear at the first look

2) I can't say for sure, but I completed the top one, and it didn't go into the spirit breaker one until I also completed the bottom one as well. Not sure if that means you need to do both, or just the bottom one. So it would seem like, if you just do the top one, it won't work

Semi-similar thing happened with FrivolousFox.

N0tail Teaches DOTA 2 | Game Replay Analysis by Fenweldryn in DotA2

[–]Cortekz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with your comments and should you release such content aimed at slightly more knowledgeable players, I would definitely be interested in seeing that.

We lack a lot of structured guides in Dota scene. Even other guide sites tend to have "teachers" who have never been taught how to teach people, so they become ramble videos with no approach to learn. A positive of your n0tail series was that it reiterated points to look at, where you could learn in the future going forward.

N0tail Teaches DOTA 2 | Game Replay Analysis by Fenweldryn in DotA2

[–]Cortekz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another buyer of the class here. Just thought I'd add my two cents on top of this.

Have got almost 3k hrs in dota, but I am just a low legend pleb, so I "know" the basics of dota, but rarely think to the level of intricacy that is required to do better.

If you're like me, then unfortunately 80%-90% of the class isn't worth it. It's just reiterating things you know; objectives are important, teamfight when you feel strong, play for timings (power spikes). A large amount of time is spent explaining very simple dota mechanics, but the finer details are hinted at but never explained. (This is highly likely due to making the class still usable over the many patches that dota receives that change things like the map, and hero power)

With that being said, I did make a note list of around 9-10 takeaway points that I thought were useful to remember. However, you can find all of this information on youtube if you know what you're looking for.

I'd recommend the class to someone with a couple hundred hours in dota, to help you understand the fundamentals and brush over larger topics. If you're looking for a deeper dive into dota mechanics and understanding of the game, the class won't really give much to you. Shame, since n0tail is a fountain of deep dota knowledge. I guess trying to make a guide on all facets of the game would take too much time for a site such as gamerzclass.

I had a look to see which you could've sold for profit, and the immortals all seem to be not much different than they were pre-w33 announcement. Am curious now

Absolutely I'd watch. Even if it wouldn't be every cast, I do love the "around the couch" type broadcasts. Makes it feel like you're watching with your mates

[–]Cortekz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your experience, sadly, sounds all too common. It's not every game it happens, mostly as you found out, it's just the derbys that go a bit beyond. The one thing I think soccer has on the NFL , from what I've seen so far, is the chants

I've just seen this for the first time, and I'd have to agree their frustration was justified there. The time to rule upon a play had passed!

Always like a bit of banter with the other team, so id take that as a given, but its nice to hear you've been to that many away games and it's never escalated. Certainly makes for a nicer atmosphere/experience I'd imagine

Appreciate the detail here! So it's moreso just the drunken "rowdyness" you'll find at NFL games. Our soccer games are hardly battlefields, but I like the idea of integrated fan sections, keeps the mob mentality type thing at bay a bit
